It's time to ban pink paint!!!

[Flash-Bugout]

So, I was visiting the Heavens Gate tourney yesterday, to see how it was, chat to a few people, etc.

Stood around chatting to a team, and all of a sudden, the whole bunch of us were covered in pink paint spray (but that's another story - one which involves somebody deserving a serious kicking).
So I got home later, covered my top with vanish, then popped it in the wash (it cant have been any more than three and a half to four hours between being painted and the vanish being applied/top being washed).

I take my top out of the machine, and guess what - it's stained. Strike up another victim to the pink paint.

I'm not 100% sure of the name of the team that was shooting the pink paint, but it was the team that played a couple of games against the marshals on the Smart Parts field at lunchtime on Saturday.
If any member of that team can let me know what paint they were shooting, I can write to the paint-manufacturer and request a replacement top.

Oh, and can all tourney organisers please ban pink paint - I'm getting sick of seeing threads about pink paint stains

no dont ban the color ban what makes the color stain

too true, just need to alter the fill. The paint in question is just as bad in orange.

I played against them 4 times that lunch time yesterday in the break between marshalling. Sadly i wouldnt know what colour paint they were shooting or whether it stained or not as they didnt really shoot any of us in the 4 games we played!

Seriously though, good games guys, was super fun playing against you!

They had the energy to play you in their break! Wow! They got stamina!!! lol!

Just a thought,
When I play paintball I really dont care if I get the odd stain, its a paintball top after all. When I'm spectating and don't want to take the chance of getting my clothes stained I wear dark or old clothes.
As has been mentioned loads of times before its not only pink I have a lil green paint on a nike t-shirt I wear under my playing top.
Horses for courses guys, would you wear a white linin suit to carry out an oil change?

Yes, don't you? Anything else would be quite vulgar!
